ESSA Accountability Model

ESSA 30,000 foot View

0 Accountability System

0 Establish school performance objectives 0 Measure progress of schools/districts against those

• bjectives

0 Taking action with respect to schools that do not make

acceptable progress

ESSA

Must Report on:

0 State-designed long term goals with

measurements of interim progress for ALL students & subgroups in the following areas (at a minimum)

0 Achievement on State Assessments 0 Graduation Rates 0 English Language Proficiency

ESSA Accountability System

0 Must Include these Academic Indicators:

0 Achievement on state tests (Achievement GAP included) 0 Growth or other indicator for elementary & middle 0 Graduation Rates for high schools 0 Progress in English language proficiency

Accountability Work Group #1

What Else Can States Include?

0 ESSA provides the opportunity to include

0 a more comprehensive picture of Student Outcomes 0 Information about factors that matter most for student

success and provide incentive for school improvement

ESSA Accountability System

0 Must include at least one measure of School Quality

• r Student Success

0 Student engagement 0 Completion of advanced coursework 0 Post-secondary readiness (CCR) 0 School climate or safety 0 “Other” as determined by State

Accountability Work Groups 2 and 3

Annual Accountability

0 Aggregate the results from five areas:

0 Achievement 0 Growth 0 Graduation rate 0 English proficiency 0 School Quality or

Student Success

0 95% tested 0 Results of students/subgroups must be weighted in

such a way that they produce results that “meaningfully differentiate” schools annually and identify schools in need of comprehensive support

Defensible method to combine these categories

ESSA

Identification for Low Performance

0 Comprehensive Support & Improvement

0 At least once every three years 0 5% lowest performing in the State 0 High Schools with graduation rates <67% 0 School with subgroups performing as low as the lowest

5% schools for x number of years

ESSA

Identification for Low Performance

0 Targeted Support & Intervention

0 At least once every three years 0 Consistently under-performing subgroups (not

necessary as low as the lowest 5% schools, but the gap to proficiency by the subgroups is consistently high

Authentic Performance Tasks

95% Tested Policy

0 Currently a zero factored in as their score for accountability

purposes only.

0 South Carolina does not have a state “opt out” policy for

summative testing. If an opt-out policy is adopted by the General Assembly:

0 Schools and districts without the 95% tested

0 May not earn highest performance level rating or receive any

reward recognition

0 Will have to develop a plan to address testing all required students 0 May have reduced funds for federal programs such as Title 1, Title

III, etc

World Class Knowledge & Skills By 2030, 90% of students will graduate in four years and will be College & Career Ready

College Ready

0 School could potentially earn points for students who meet

“college ready” status by end of Grade 12

0 Grade 11 College Entrance Test benchmarks (ACT/SAT); 0 Any repeat administration of

ACT/SAT/Compass/Accuplacer)in grade 12;

0 AP core course completion with a “3 or higher”; IB core

course completion with a “4 or higher; Dual Credit core courses 70 or higher

0 Developmental Reading and Developmental Math courses in

Grade 12 with an 80 or higher

Mutually Agreed Upon Cut Score for all IHEs to take a credit bearing course

Career Ready

0 School could potentially earn points for students who meet

“career ready” status by end of Grade 12 for the percentage of students who

0 Score a “Silver or above” on WorkKeys

OR

0 Complete a Career and Technical program of study (CATE

Completer) AND

0 Earn an Industry Credential in a field that leads to living

wage or complete an approved apprenticeship program

WorkKeys 62.9% CATE Completers 10,459 CATE Completers with Industry Credentials 4,015

Next Steps

0 Seek legislative approval to delay new accountability

model until the 2017-18 school year

0 New report card implementation November 2018 0 Full Accountability Committee (late May) 0 Standard setting on SC Ready – June 2016
